The attorneys of the Blair Go.
Liquor League are quoted as saying
that ait would be about as safe for q
man to undertake to peddlc powder
through sheol as to engage in the
liquor business under the existing
laws" This somewhat remarkable
utterance was made after contenplat-
ing the work of the last court and
the "irreprcssible conflict between
the home and the saloon" If the

their diligence redoubled. as under
the new law. with an upright judici-
ary and intelligent jurors, it has been
demonstrated that the man who vio-
lates that law does 30 at his peril"

Destroying the Crops.

A Psrham, Mimi, special says: The
country is alive with locusts. Trees.
walls and buildings are covered with
the creatures and they are crushed
under foot on the sidewalks, and in the
streets. High in the air every clear day
and when the wind is strong, millions
of them can be seen going as the wind
carries them. Crops at Perham are a
dead loss.
Ten thousand acres can already be
counted as destroyed. Vegetation in
places is devoured to the root. Else
where the leaf is stripped off and the
kernel bareG, leaving the bare stalk and
husk whitening in the sun. Everything
is eaten except wild grass and foliage.
In some places currant bushes and Young
trees are stripped of bark and foliage.
evidently only the beginning of their
ravages. Their increase is something
beyond computation. 1t is said that
after Matching in the spring they keep
together in storms and at that time may
be caught on tarred sheets and crema.
ted.
Some very gloomy reports are coming
from Southern Minnesota about damage
to crops of all kinds by drought and
chinch bugs. The wheat crop is badly
injured in spots, and while the general
crop of the State will be fully up to the
average, individual loss in Mower. FIJI
more, Rice and Benville counties will
be heavy. Chinch bugs are destroying
the corn in most places and that crop
will be shortened considerably. In the
central and northern portions of the
State, the crops are all right. Crops in
Dakota are doing well everywhere.

Seventeen Burned 10 Death

At Hurley, Wisconsin, last Saturday
night, fire broke out on the stage of the
Alcazar Theatre, and within an hour
the entire business portion of the town
was in flames, while seventeen persons
had persisted in the theatre. The char
red remains of fifteen people have been
taken from the ruins. The loss is fully
half a million dollars. The Alcazar was
variety theatre, chiefly frequented by
miners, and was one OF the resorts Of
unsavory repute associated with the no.
torious dance houses Of the mining re-
gions. Only n small audience had gath
cred when the fire broke out, and they
scrambled out in hurry. Several of
the actors, however, rushed upstairs to
save their wardrobes, and when they
sought to escape found that they were
hemmed in on all sides, the flames hav-
ing spread through the wooden building
with incredible rapidly. How they
struggled to flee will never be known,
as none of them except Sadie Wells and
Mabel Powers were ever seen again.
The former appeared at a second story
window and called piteously upon the
crowd outside to save her. Before a
hand could De raised the flames reached
her aud communicated 10 her clothing.
She made frantic effort to jump
through The window. then with pierre
ing shrek fell into the furnace below.
Mabel Powers had reached third story
window. She jumped and was so badly
injured that her recovery Is doubtful.

Unfortunate Shooting ARRAY

A very unfortunate and it is feared a
fatal, shooting affray occurred at Lewis
burg, this State, last Friday morning.
in which Dir. Bedford Beirne, deputy
postmaster, and Mr.. Edward Rucker, a
Young lawyer, son of DR.. VIM. Z.
Rucker, member OF lthe Lewisburg
bar, were the participants. The shoot
ing grew out of an alleged insult given
Mr.. Rucker by Mr.. Berne OH Thursday
evening, the exact cause or nature of
which has not been learned. Mr..
Ruckcr is said to have fired the first
shot. which struck Mr.. Beirne in the
leftwrst, breaking both bones. The
mex. shots were simultaneous, Mr..
Fuckers shot taking effect in Mr..
Beirne's breast, penetrating the cavity,
and the third shots neither took effect.
Mr.. Berne's wounds give cause for Sc
rious apprehension. Young Rucker
was arrested and Immediately gave bail
in 81 900 to answer an indictment. Mr..
Beirne is the son of Maj. Andrew
Beirne, The postmaster, who is half
brother OF Col Richard +. Beirne, edi-
tor of the Richmond (Va.) State. Mr..
Rucker had just graduated at the West
Virginia University in law.

The folly of Mr.. Lucas contest for the
seat I'm the United States Senarc, 10
which Mr.. Faulkner was recently
elected by the Legislature of West Vir-
pinia, has attracted attention outside of
that little State. 1t is amazing to us
that Mr.. Lucas should set up as an Uni
ted States Senator, and claim the priv
lege of one, when he has nothing to
show for it but a certificate, stating that
Governor Wilson had appointed him to
place, which the Legislature has since
filled. And yet he asserts that very
claim in an offensive and ineXcusable
manner, If it be true, as reported in a
Wheeling paper. that he lately called on
the Public Printer in Washington, and
requested the removal of Mr.. George
Sargent of West Virginia, who was re-
Gently appointed to position in that
establishment through the Influence of
Senator Faulkner and eX Senator
Camden. And strangest and most in
consistent of all, Mr.. Lucas asked Mr..
Sargenrs removal upon the ground that
he had worked against the regular Dem
ocratic nominee for the House of Dele
gates, at the last election in Jefferson
county, the regular Democratic candi-
date aforesaid being a man who refused
to support Camden, the regular Demo
cratic nominee for the United States
Senate. This was surely Satan reprov-
ing sin.
The next United States Senate is likely
to be divided equally, or nearly so, be
tween the Democrats and the Republi-
cans. In view Of this probability, the
Pittsburg Post talks out in meeting as
follows:
There is a very loud call from the Demo-
cratic press of the country that the unseemly
wrangle in West Virginia in relation to the
certificate of the United States Senator-elect
shall cease, and that Governor Wilson shall
issue the certificate TO Senator-elect Faulk-
ner. The Governors appointment of Mr..
Lucas cannot stand against the election OF
Mr.. Faulkner. A contest will only result in
the seating of Mr.. Faulkner; but it is impor-
tant there should be no contest which would
result in the temporary loss of one Demo-
cratic vote. The Senate is very close. There
are 81 Democrats, in full Senate, and IS Re-
publicans, and Riddleberger, who, 1t is re-
ported, will vote with the Democrats on or
ganization and other questions. The ques-
lions involved are too important to be mud
died by this proposed and needless West Vir-
ginia contest"
Truly "needless" contest. Nay, it
is an inexcusable one. Especially is it
inexcusable in Democrat to go to WASH
ington and claim seat in the United
States Senate, on the ground that the
West Virginia Constitution overrides
that clause Of the Federal Constitution
which expressly provides that every
senatorial vacancy shall be filled at the
"neXt session" of the State Legislature.

by's drug store, asked for 10 cents worth
of strychnine to poison rats with.
"Rough on Rats" was recommended,
but she insisted on strychnine and OBJ
tanned it. She says she mixed up the
strychnine and some quinine in separate
glasses at the same time and poured the
strychnine, as she thought, into rat
hole in the stable, and that her husband
took the contents of the other glass.
Shortly after Farlow took it he was
thrown into commissions. The first
thing he said Was $50 away, you have
poisoned me-" lie was dead in less than
an hour and Il half after taking the poi
son.
The coroner's jury rendered verdict
against the woman at the inquest, and
she has been held for trial.
